Finally, a glossary of terms along with a comprehensive index of the technical and most commonly known name for each food item are provided at the end of the book. In addition to providing clear and accessible information, this dictionary presents information in a highly visual manner. There are over 1,200 pictures throughout the book. Basic techniques are clearly illustrated with original step-by-step photographs.
Customer Reviews
This is the best food book that I can imagine, which is saying a lot since I've been a food writer for five years. It's incredibly handy for quick reference, has a lot of well-organizing information, and has fantastic illustrations.From owning this encyclopedia for just a few months, I have already learned new information about foods I love. And this is the perfect reference for anyone who's enticed by new ingredients and brings them home without knowing what to do with them since it offers the flavor profile, serving suggestions, and preparation tips. The Visual Food Encyclopedia has inspired me to try various new fruits like pepino melon, and all the new recipes I've made around those ingredients have been easy and delicious.This is also a pleasure to look through. It's a very readable book, fun to peruse with friends while hanging out in the kitchen, and will prove extremely useful for as long as you're able to taste food. It would make the perfect gift for any chef or foodie.
